highwood went form ~30 cm/s at 6 pm to 895 cm/s at 1 am! should create some new water features, wishes and prayers go out to those in the affected areas!

my former house was broken into twice, once in the morning before noon and once at ~2:30pm so its not unheard of. When i talked to the cops they said it happens alot while your at work. A client of mine is a locksmith, he gets real busy around this time of year, so I lock up tight. Hope they catch the a-hole

They were likely taking subsurface emergers (it was raining, mayflies?). In addition to a hare's ear try an unweighted soft hackle sized to what you know or think might be going off or what they're eating.
Sounds like some kind of dandelion or cottonwood type seed tufts were floating on the water. I've found fuzzy seed tuft material inside fish, suspect the material gets mistaken for some kind of food item.
try old school, swing wet flies, or like trailhead said, non weighted nymphs are worth a try

I agree with both Don and Dave, that there a bigger issues to address, but this thread was about barbs, if you want to talk about the "bigger issues" start your own thread.
-
And continuing along with the lake flies, I tied some micro-leeches
try some purples don! their my fav micro!

I am with you 100%. I will never use barbs regardless of regs. doesn't matter size 20+, or size 8. All I can do is attempt to leave the least amount of impact on the fish I catch, and imo that means not using barbs.

You can clean them by soaking them in a warm water and mild dish soap mixture. I will then pull the line through a soft cloth and then let the line dry. Apply some fly line dressing according to the instructions on the package and your good to go. It's a great thing to do on days like today:)
When he says mild, it means MILD. Dish soap is a degreaser and if mixed too strong will dry out your line making it prone to cracks. If you can, use even a bar of soap mixed lightly with water.

Kinda funny how we ALL (me included) worry about the dear little fishies when (to quote others) C&R fishing is really a blood sport that involves fish being injured and dying intentionally or not. (I rant on about silly barbless laws and the use of bait where there are size limits. Others say "my" way is better than "your" way.)
Yet we are all maiming and killing fish one way or another. (Yeah me and you.) Efforts to mitigate fish injury and mortality are welcome, but if our hearts were really in the best interests of fish, we'd not fish other than for sustenance. Right? Bastards all of us.
Oh right, we are the environmental "hall monitors" who keep track of the fisheries because fish health is the indicator of environmental health. It is our duty and there are costs involved in this important work. Yeah, that's it.
Is it spring yet?
Truth man, all truth:)
armchair fishing isn't half as fun as real fishing. COME ON SPRING!

fabricland at northland mall has an assortment of thicknesses, not sure about the length and width of the "sheets".

i agree that the handling and identification of fish species is first and foremost when it comes to mortality rates. It was an observation worth noting as it was absent from the regulations we all follow. If i were to be stabbed in the mouth i would much prefer a sharp shiv as opposed to a barbed harpoon. It is personal choice for the time being, I agree.
-
Just looking through the regs for 2013 and it has come to my attention that there is no mention of debarbing hooks. Although some may argue that barbs and no barbs have similar mortality rates, I have always been and always will be an advocate for no barbs on hooks as to reduce the trauma and for an easy hook removal. Im a pure C&R fisherman with a conservation attitude and frankly i'm a little miffed about barbs being reinstated.
Cheers,
Chad

mad respecto, form is pretty bad, but still awesome
-
if its good enough for brian chan, its good enough for me. I use whatever i feel like using, im not out to impress anyone with what a purist i am. Its the evolution of the fly fisherman.
-
I think lake koocanusa in bc has a campground on it, warm water too.
and the elk runs into it!
Prince Albert NP in North Central Saskatchewan!
This is also true, been there once and it was beautiful
-
thats pretty far to haul a 32' trailer but i highly recommend it. Shuswap has a couple campgrounds on the lake that ha vebeaches. are you looking more for ocean or just sand and water?
-
red, i have been doing the same and she has been good to me too.
btw...is that a velvet fog in your profile pic? lol
-
trout tv is all commercials, for actual content "new fly fisher" is far superior imo. The episode of the latter on The bow is all fishing and alot of info. highly recommended over Trout TV, just my 2 cents (i guess now rounded down to 0 cents). I will try and find a feed for that episode, wish me luck

Taco, it's like asking if someone prefers natural "bo*bs" vs. silicone or saline implants, isn't it?!
<j/k>
natural

people dont like pigeons, it doesnt mean im in PA supporting live pigeon shoots. Its about the humane treament of animals invasive or not. although the harvesting of fish oil/biodiesel from these fish is an interesting proposal 420, im with ya!

I have the piranha 180 and love it 420, i would say look no further but i dont have a base of comparison.

that article is older then the derailment (dated 26th). while It was inundated after the flood. after the train derailment it was shut down for a period of time.
